Welcome to the Elements Legacy Challenge Rules Sheet! (Wow, what a long introductory phrase!)
This challenge, as you’ll see, is heavily inspired by lilsimsie and alwayssimming’s Not So Berry Challenge (click here to read the rules). It’s evident that the format of the color coded generations & generation’s goals system wasn’t invented by me, but I wanted to make it clear anyway. I hope no one feels offended by the idea behind this challenge. I created this one out of boredom and good intentions! 💛
Basically each generation has its own color(s), material and style. Each one of these characteristics will have to be shown through your Sim’s aesthetic and/or in their house. However, if you don’t want to make a golden dressed Sim, but you’d like to give them a super tacky house, go for it! What matters is that these given characteristics are visible somewhere, even just a room or an object.
The colors and materials for each gen are just a starting point, you can add whatever color or texture you like to them!
Each generation has a few worlds they can live in, you can only choose among those listed for each gen.
As for money, the first gen is the only one with specified starting funds. In the following ones you can choose if you want to keep the money your family has, or if you want to start with less money to make the gameplay more challenging 😊
Then, each generation has of course some tasks and aspirations to complete, some skills to max and other stuff to do!
When you play a generation, be sure to take a look at the following one as well, because sometimes there will be things that need to be taken care of before the start of the following gen!
You can play in whatever lifespan you want. It's a new challenge for me, too, so I don't know what's the best one to use.
To play some of the gens, a couple of packs are kind of necessary, like: Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Discover University, Get Famous, Eco Lifestyle, Spa Day, Realm of Magic and Jungle Adventure.
Get Together, Parenthood and others are also somewhat important but you can do it without them. If anyone's interested I can do a basegame compatible version of the challenge!😊
If the challenge becomes "popular", I'll add some more generations🤩
Have fun ✨🥰

1 Earth generation🌄
You’re new in town and don’t know anyone. The only thing that moves your heart is...art! In fact, you brought only your easel with you from your old place, and you hope to make a living out of the stuff you’ll create on that thing.
But staying inside all day is not good for anyone, so sometimes you’ll accept your (new) friends invitations, and follow them wherever they take you. Sometimes, however, friends can really pressure you to do things you don’t want to, and this really annoys you! You get married too young and have a kid, only to divorce shortly after the baby is born. You just weren’t ready.
When you finally decide to settle down and start a family again, you’ll marry a spellcaster just for their looks (WHAT?!) and you two will give birth to a lovely little kid!

2 Gem generation💎
As a spellcaster’s kid, you’re fascinated by what’s out of the ordinary. You don’t have many friends, and your parents are your best friends, until they pass away together in mysterious circumstances. Therefore, you decide to move in with your closest friend from high school, and of course, as it happens with anyone you say more than a ‘hello’ to, you fall in love with them! But it looks like this time this is for real! After some ups and downs, you win them over (did you use a love potion? You didn’t?! You sure?) and you turn your roommates’ home in a place ready for a family. With a lot of cats. You also have just one child, who you love more than anybody else. You’re gonna be the best parent EVER!!!
Traits: Romantic, Family Oriented, Cat Lover
Aspiration: Spellcraft & Sorcery

You are sick of mountains and rocks, you want to see the SEA. You are also sick of working (although you’ve never had a job, but just the idea of it makes you SICK). So you are determined to make a living out of vlogs, videos, videogames, juice fizzing and song recordings. You get married but your significant other can’t stand this lifestyle, so you get divorced. You adopt a kid to raise on your own in your little beach house. And you’re freaking HAPPY. Oh, another thing: one of the best memories you have is the one of your parents cooking together, so you want to learn how to make that grilled cheese they used to prepare for you. You want to learn it VERY BADLY.

4 Fire Generation🔥
Your parent was a freak. Seriously, how could they expect to make a successful living out of videogames? No, no, no. You won’t make the same mistake. You’re gonna study hard and get a degree. Oh yeah. And you won’t stay home with that freak, you’re staying on campus. You will get a degree in Language and Literature, so that you can become a best-selling author. Unfortunately, having been so focused on your education, your love life is non-existent. So you think a meaningless fling could help you in that field but--OH NO. You get stuck with an unwanted pregnancy (even though you’ll never get married) and you have to leave campus and study between milk feeding and diaper changing. Anyway, you end up loving that little thing more than you’ve ever loved your parent, who never stops judging you (you end up hating each other)

SimmedUp’s Simfection Save Sneak Peek!! #simmedupsave
In a time, not so long ago a new virus caused a world-wide epidemic, it is said that in Strangerville at a secret lab and was only known as “the great sickness”. Then a young scientist by the name of Vidcund Curious created a vaccine but unfortunately, this vaccine cause side effects that could not be reversed. As Simciety crumbled new kinds of Sims rose from the rubble, factions formed and Sims started to rebuild. Welcome to the world of SimmedUp’s Simfection Save.
Willow Creek aka The Swamp
After the sickness, the big southern style mansions and small mobile homes were reclaimed by the water turning Willow Creek into a swamp. Parts of Willow Creek has had power fully restored thanks to hydro-electricity and water is not an issue.
In Crawdad Quarter you’ll find the Froggo people. Said to have been created when a Sim, right after getting vaccinated ate frog legs, these aquatic dwellers love to spend time in the swamp. They are the guardians of the delicate swamp eco system. You better not try and catch wild frog as that is strictly forbidden unless you make friends with them. Once a year, all Froggos come together at the Crawdad Festival to sing for each other and fall in love. It is said that when your perfect mate hears your call, nothing can stop them from being together. Froggos are shy Sims that keep to themselves and have many strange traditions but if you have a hankering for gumbo stew, you best get down to Crawdad Quarter. Due to the nature of their living space, Froggos are completely off the grid and don’t like technology.
Foundry Cove and Courtyard Lane is home to average hardworking Sims. Buildings here are rundown or completely reclaimed by the swamp, you’ll have to renovate a bit. Power is only available from 6pm to 12pm.
Pendula View and Sage Estates is filled with old southern mansions. Power here is fully restored and only the oldest richest families live here like descendants of the Goth family. The Goth manor is still standing.
Just want y'all to know that in these images Saturn is ~450 million miles farther from Earth than Jupiter is. Also, because the speed of light is finite, you're seeing Jupiter as it was 48 minutes before the picture was taken, but seeing Saturn as it was 89 minutes before the picture was taken.
